Verdict

A good starting point is with Emirates Empire who has done nothing wrong in three starts this year. He is a major player if able to translate his AW form to turf but Mark Johnston seems to hold all the aces in this small but select six-runner affair. Themaxwecan will be more competitive than he was when finishing ninth in a Derby Trial last time and his form prior to that entitles him to be a player. However, ready preference is for the top-weight SUMMER MOON who turned a hot handicap at York into a one-horse-race when routing the opposition last time. The manner of that performance suggested he is a horse going places and he can take this en-route to pattern company.
  1. Summer Moon
  2. Themaxwecan
  3. Emirates Empire
